Take avocados and make a recipe for game day entertaining, but it can’t be a normal obvious recipe like guacamole! This was my challenge for this post. A challenge I accepted and got right to work on. The other…
{Gluten Free} Butterscotch Blondies with Chocolate Chips and Cranberries
Never in a million years did I think that one day I would be standing in my kitchen with organic coconut sugar and gluten free flour. Five years ago I didn’t even know that there were “organic” foods or “gluten free” foods or any of that. All I knew was “food”. My oh my how things…

My friend, Anne, has introduced me to some wonderful foods over the past few years. I’ve started using coconut oil in place of regular oil because of her, I use pineapple juice instead of butter to saute chicken, we make pasta salad with greek yogurt now in place of mayo (well in some cases) and…
Pin It to Win It – From International Delight
Ice cream and summer go hand in hand don’t they? I mean most of my summer memories as a child involved us walking to the local ice cream shop. I have fond memories of sitting at the picnic tables up there eating ice cream and then running around with the other kids. We used popsicle molds to…
Greek “Dill”-light Pasta Salad
One of the hardest part about coming up with a recipe for me is actually giving the recipe a name. So after a few test runs with this recipe, after the photos were done and the recipe written out, I was stuck here with this “Greekish” pasta salad with no real name for it and…

Asparagus Tomato Frittata #BrunchWeek
Frittatas seem to be hit and miss in this house. I personally love them, Thomas…well he likes them somedays and other days he has no interest. That’s fine by me, because that means I will have some left over to re-heat for breakfast during the week, or brunch on the weekend! (Because I don’t like to…
A Bestowed Review and Giveaway
What’s everyone’s number 1 downfall when it comes to eating better? Around here all I hear is “If I could stop snacking on junk, I would eat better.” I hear it from my family, I hear it from friends and I read it online. Ok.. maybe not that exact sentence each time, but close. So to eliminate…
